On July 2, Olympique Lyonnais announced that it had exercised the purchase option for Belgian midfielder Orel Mangala (26 years old), who was coming out of a six-month loan on the banks of the RhĂ´ne.Arriving this winter from Nottingham Forest on loan, Orel Mangala is now tied to OL until June 30, 2028. The acquisition amount is ÂŁ20 million (around €23.4 million), with Nottingham Forest also retaining a 10% interest on the capital gain of a possible future transfer.“.
Since then, the former Nottingham Forest player has become an undesirable that OL are looking to get rid of, with the Gones having promised the DNCG to sell for €100 million. According to The TeamJohn Textor has apparently found a way to offload his player. A way that is likely to get people talking. Everton has in fact made a dry loan offer for the Belgian. An offer that will not allow them to cash a nice check. But it is worth remembering that Everton is a club about to be bought by… John Textor.
